Players applying for membership in Hotshots are generaly required to pass a trial period which ends after 2 months , after which members vote whether to accept them into the team or not.

Every new ArmA recruit has to join one of the active Field leaders in Hotshots (indicated by an asterix (*) behind their name in game).
If the group of your choice is full, or you are not accepted by that Field Leader, contact the Team Leader for further steps.
To stay in contact, an msn messenger account is required. Having Teamspeak with a working mic is preferred.

New recruits get the following:

2 months HS Trial = partial privileges to private forums

HS Trial xml (tag)

No server or forum admin rights

Every trial member can be expeled from HS by any senior HS at any time, if he dont obey the rules and conditions which he signed up for.

* The administration can make exceptions to the regular recruitment path when appropriate.
